Broadmead Hearing Clinic

I was born and raised in Cloverdale, BC.  With initial thoughts of becoming a psychologist, I entered UBC and completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.  In that time, I discovered the human communication disorder field and decided to pursue  my Master of Science specializing in Audiology at Dalhousie University.  I spent three years in Halifax exploring this field.  My final work term in Edmonton at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital allowed me to develop a wide range of audiological skills in a tertiary care setting.

After graduating from Dalhousie, I relocated to Ottawa where I had the opportunity to work at the Ottawa Civic Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).   In this time, I had the pleasure of working with both adults and children, developing my skills in assessing, diagnosing, and treating those with hearing loss.  With adults I specialized in hearing aid fitting and follow-up, vestibular assessments, tinnitus counselling, and auditory brainstem response testing.  At CHEO I was responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of kids with hearing loss, fitting hearing aids on children as young as a few months old. 

While in Ottawa, my partner and I welcomed our daughter Maya in 2004 and son Rowan in 2007.  After a number of winters in Ottawa, we moved our young family back to the West Coast.  We set our sights  on Victoria, moving in the fall of 2007. Shortly thereafter, I joined the Broadmead Hearing Clinic, a perfect fit for my auditory health care background.

I love my field of work and enjoy the personal, physiological, psychological and technological aspects of audiology.  While I work two days a week at the present time to balance work and family, I plan to work full-time once my children are both in school.  In the meantime, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring Victoria, reading, running, and travelling.
